I don't know: I've read through the book, uncomfortably, because I find .pdf
books very uncomfortable on the eye, but though I'm interested in the
writing I'm not sure if entirely 'like' the sensibility that's expressed. I
need to read the book again though, but its not a palatable experience
reading in Adobe format, the pages jerking and sliding on the screen.
In my own latest e-book I used a page per poem (The Cabinet of Dr Spectare
- on my website). It's still not ideal, I just used a free version of Net
Objects Fusion to assemble it, but it does focus each piece as something to
be 'read', not 'looked at' or 'scanned'.
Since taking over the running of my local poetry group's website, as I
receive queries addressed to the 'webmaster', I've really noticed how much
people don't read what they look at on the screen: repeatedly I get queries
from parties who have seen the website, that's how they have my relevant
e-mail address, but not read it, as they ask for information that's there on
the site: where do we meet, how can one join, etc. I don't mind but ...
